One more cup of coffee — sometimes that is all you need!
I used to drink coffee all day long. There was always one more cup of coffee in the coffee pot. And I never had any trouble sleeping.
But, times have changed and now I just have one or two cups in the morning. And then sometimes… I indulge myself with one more cup of coffee in the late afternoon.
Mostly I like my coffee unsweetened, but with whipping cream. An old throwback from the 70’s from when mom was doing Atkins. Now, with KETO being so popular, heavy cream is back in style. I just never stopped.
( although I must say, I really enjoy a dirty Chai every once in a while!)
For those of you new to this blog …I am involved in a 100-Day Challenge, put on by Wool& — Same dress. 100 days. (And yes, you can wash it!) Part of my reasons for deciding to do this was to simplify my life, especially with my lifestyle.
What’s in store today:
More errands and appointments. Which meant, I had to take my photos in the afternoon… instead of the usual morning. And… I had to practice my dance sequences later too… which is why I needed that “one more cup of coffee!”
Still Working on that Tennessee Walking Step… trying to commit it to muscle memory. And Carla, if you are reading, I am working on bending my knees!

Here’s what I came up with for today!
I just love this little mirror. It’s what I use to get all did-up when I am in Portland.
Number 1 and I have a fondness for birds, especially little iron ones.
Pretty casual dress day — sweater is from Target, Universal Threads brand, Leggings are from the Gap, and some Turquoise earrings from Arizona.
Another great day in my Chippewa boots. I swear, they seem to be getting more and more comfortable the longer I wear them. Note: they run slightly larger– these are a size smaller, and they fit great.
Every once in a great while. I will have coffee after dinner… and possibly tip a little of this in the cup. Throwback from living in the Bay Area…. and the Buena Vista.
This is, by far, my favorite coffee mug. For one thing, It holds a LOT of coffee and keeps it warm. And it is easy to hold. I love hand made. I believe I found this at a thrift store.
This one does NOT have any Irish in it… because, I have some work to do still. But, I might pick some up on the way back to the coast. Be good to have when the snow hits!
Thanks for joining me for a little cup of coffee. More to come — so check back often!

day 49: black coffee
Black Coffee...but you can skip the cigarettes! You see, I quit over 10 years ago... haven't had one since then. I started knitting about 40 ish years ago and used to make little baby sweaters and hats when the kids were little. But single motherhood... with 4 kids...
day 48: take me home
Take me home -- because sometimes, that is just where you need to be. As a person who lives in her RV full time, at the beach, but visits Portland every week for a few days, it is having two homes. One completely different than the other. At the beach, super cool...
Appalachian Flatfooting and Clogging with Tracy: week 5
This was a fun week in Appalachian Flatfooting and Clogging. It's week 5, and all about chug behinds and cross overs! And I tell you, I felt like I had two left feet... and no sense of right and left. Ok... the first is definitely true, but I do have a bit of a...
day 47: stormy weather
Stormy weather, and I just can't get my poor self together! That is the way the song goes, anyway. I think I got myself together pretty good... but I only have stormy weather out on the horizon, but not in my life - as in figuratively speaking. So I only need...
day 46: good day sunshine
It's a good day... but then again, everyday is a good day for me. It's not that I am ridiculously optimistic and cheerful. But everyday I am alive is a good day. Some days are more challenging than others. Some days are more fun. Some days even have sorrow...
day 45: and the beat goes on
And the beat goes on... forever, I hope! Lately, I have been enchanted by the rhythm of life. I am not sure if it is because I spend so much time alone, that I am becoming more aware of everyday rhythms around me... waves, squirrels, birds, traffic,...
